History
Paradinha appeared in Brazil. This term gained fame when the feint introduced Pele into his repertoire. Although he later admitted that he took over this feint from another Brazilian footballer, Didi [1] .
The second wave of popularity of the Paradini came in 1997, when the rules were amended that the goalkeeper must be on the goal line before the strike. This increased the efficiency of the paradini by an order. Before the strike was banned, Brazilian penalty takers very often used this kind of strike. This was done by Ronaldo , Nilmar , Fred , Neymar and others.
Prohibition of strike
In February 2010, FIFA announced that it was going to consider the issue of Paradinho. The president of the organization, Sepp Blatter , considered such a trick to be a hoax and announced an early cancellation of this rule.
In 2010, FIFA reverted to its previous interpretation of rule 14. Prior to this, immediately before hitting the ball, deceitful movements were allowed. From June 1, 2010, part of the text of the rule was formulated as follows:
Deceitful movements during the take-off run during an 11-meter strike are allowed in order to mislead the opponent. However, fraudulent movements when hitting the ball when the player has already completed the run are considered a violation of rule 14 and are considered unsportsmanlike behavior, for which a warning is issued to the player.
Starting from the final part of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, a pause after the take-off is considered a foul, the punch receives a yellow card, and a second hit is assigned in favor of the defending team.
Thus, the penalty takers were forbidden to stop in front of the ball and pause to make the goalkeeper fall before the shot. You can make fraudulent movements only during the take-off run until the moment when the supporting leg is set for impact.
Prior to this rule, such a blow was not prohibited, although in Europe, judges were advised to regard such a blow as undisciplined behavior [2] .
Performance Examples
Neymar, speaking for Santos , scored using Paradinho Rogerio Seni from Sao Paulo . Fred, a Fluminense player, used a shot in the penalty shootout with Vasco da Gama . The judge did not punish Fluminense; nevertheless, the opponent won the series [3] .
In the penalty shootout of the 2007/08 Champions League final between Manchester United and Chelsea , Cristiano Ronaldo stopped before a shot on goal by Petr Cech , the Chelsea goalkeeper did not fall for the trick, as a result Ronaldo did not realize a penalty [1] . Already after the ban, the Paradigny punished the Argentine striker of Barcelona Lionel Messi for this blow. This happened in the Champions League match against Milan [4] .
Once such a performance completely caused the goalkeeper to be injured. The goalkeeper, caught in the opposite direction, broke his left hand [5] .
